While you may believe that to be true, that's not within the scope of what they opened the patents for, so it's unfair to characterize them as not holding true to their word because they they aren't helping to build home packs out of them.
In addition, Tesla has already discussed that they plan to recycle the packs for new batteries, so they aren't ignoring the reuse idea.
I'm sure that they'll look at reuse, but they're trying to make dedicated new storage products. To be honest, I think that they'll be more likely to have internal reuse that rebuild and sell.
The patent blog note was just a message that they were open to patent swaps.
